Lately I feel like I’m caught in a massive round of catch-up where you never quite get caught up. I’m holding on to the knowledge that by next Saturday I’ll be done the necessary papers I need to do for school and the articles I need to write for a magazine, finished with the welcome […]
Glazed Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Yesterday my little man turned TWO! I can honestly hardly believe it, and at the same time I can’t believe he hasn’t been two for ages. I can hardly believe it because I feel like I missed most of his first year and a bit in a blur of us not really getting along or […]
Orange Chocolate Muffins
You know those times when you truly wonder why we do the things that we do? I had one of those this morning. I was attempting to pull a load out of the dryer, and put a new one in, with the help/hindrance of b’s little exploring hands, so eventually I grabbed the big ball […]
Peach Cobbler Scones
Little known fact: Carl and I dream of one day owning a fabulous Bed & Breakfast. We’ve stayed at a only a couple of B & B’s in our lives so far, but we love the friendly atmosphere, the great locations, and, obviously, the delicious breakfasts. I don’t eat heavy breakfasts but I would definitely […]
Double Chocolate Waffles
Carl bought “me” a waffle maker for Mother’s Day this year and, while I’ve yet to actually make waffles, I have had some pretty amazing waffles since. I’ve never been a fan of waffles, but I’d also never had homemade waffles – the difference is like that between store-bought Wonderbread and fresh homemade bread: incomparable. […]
Banana Bread Scones
The HEAT, my friends. Oh, the heat. It’s slowly killing me: my creativity, my personality, my skin, my joie de vivre…ergh. We don’t have air conditioning in our house or our car and sometimes I wonder if I will ever feel cool again. We also only have one car, so when I’m at home there […]
Chocolate Zucchini Banana Muffins
I like to show up late for parties, much to my husband’s eternal frustration. Partly I like to show up late because that eternal frustration can be a source of some amusement. When you’re a full foot shorter and 100 lbs lighter than your significant other you can’t really strike up a fair tickle fight, […]
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
There are certain things people try to disguise as healthy. Like sometimes I’ve been convinced that pizza is healthy. It can have vegetables, meat, cheese, and bread. Sometimes it even has fruit (which I am opposed to, as a rule). So basically it has all the food groups in one meal, and could be eaten at any […]
Cranberry Flax Muffins
How was everyone’s weekend? Mine saw soaring temperatures and all sorts of fun. Friday morning was spent at a wonderful local berry farm, where Gemma made gooey eyes at my friend’s handsome son, and they had a great time playing together. The kids loved the berry farm, which definitely catered to families (even someone to […]
Lemon Chia Seed Muffins
My little sister’s big day is coming up this summer and I’m so excited to see her walk down the aisle, to see my little girl be a flower girl, and just to see my whole family together for the first time since last summer (I know, a lot of families go longer, but for […]
